The face of human trafficking is changing. Transnational criminal networks, scam compounds operating across borders, and the rise of "pig butchering" fraud have reshaped what exploitation looks like — and what it will take to disrupt it.

On this episode of Until All Are Free, Preston sits down with TER Co-founder Matt Parker to talk about the organization's strategic pivot toward disrupting transnational trafficking. Drawing on nearly fifteen years on the front lines, Matt unpacks the architecture of trafficking in 2026, including operations where victims are trafficked into forced criminality and made to run cyber-enabled fraud schemes targeting people around the world. It's a form of trafficking that doesn't look like what most people picture, and it's growing fast.

The conversation also gets specific about what it actually takes to make trafficking dangerous for traffickers — not just symbolically, but operationally. From evidence-gathering and law enforcement partnership to the technology now reshaping intervention work, Matt offers a clear-eyed look at the playbook TER is deploying to meet this moment.
